The Bar and Books

Some of life’s pleasures are priceless – A candlelight setting, the unmistakable scent of fine cigars, a discussion with your mates, a nice brandy snifter next to the hearty glow of a fireplace, all combined with some tunes that bring back memories for everyone. Welcome to the Bar And Books – a venue where pleasures like these can be constantly enjoyed. The bar has a couple of addresses – at Mánesova Sixty-Four, Prague Two, close to Metro A travelling to Jiřího z Poděbrad, and at Týnská Nineteen, Prague One, in the centre of Prague. website
